Ashwin's wife Prithi and daughters Akhira and Aadhya cheered him on from the stands, a heartwarming moment that captured their joy and pride of his accomplishment.
'What a phenomenal guy. I am insanely proud of you @rashwin99 We love you!'
Ashwin's performance earned him praise and humour from fans online. Many playfully acknowledged his transformation from a renowned bowler to a reliable middle-order batsman.
Ravichandran Ashwin's wife Prithi Narayanan penned a heartfelt tribute for her husband following his recent retirement from international cricket, saying "it is time to set the burden of being you down" and embrace life beyond the game.
'It was during Covid that Ashwin realised that family can also be a part of his life. So he expanded a little bit to give us space which gave him more happiness and stability to deal with a lot of things on the field. That is why he has had a detached attachment over the last few years.'
Their husbands were on opposing sides during the first qualifier game between the Delhi Capitals and the Chennai Super Kings, and in the DC and CSK VIP boxes, Sakshi Dhoni and Prithi Narayanan stole the show.
While the action is at an all-time high in IPL 2022, no team arguably enjoys as much support in the wife and girlfriends box as the Rajasthan Royals does.
'The 100th Test match probably means 10 x 100 to my dad, it means a lot to my wife and my mom. My daughters are more excited than I am.'
When the Royals defeated the the Royal Challengers Bangalore by 29 runs at the MCA stadium in Pune on Tuesday night, among the cheersleaders we spotted Prithi Narayanan, who is married to Royals spinner and occasional pinch hitter Ravichandran Ashwin, and Lara van der Dussen, whose husband Rassie we think needs to play more games in the league.
'Hibernate and rejuvenate', Ashwin captioned the picture with wife Prithi Narayanan and their daughters, Akhira and Adhya.
After their thrilling win against the Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals' players enjoyed a well-earned day off at the beach.
Ashwin's wife Prithi Narayanan said her family had been through a 'nightmare of a week' after 10 members of the household tested positive for COVID-19.
'Whenever I walk out to bat, people assume I just took that decision and came out, but that's a role given to me.'
With the Indian players having to stay in the bio-bubble for the next two months during the tour of Australia, some of the players opted to bring in their families to help them cope with the isolation period.
The Indian cricketers are making most of a rare vacation on an overseas tour.
Ashwin responded to Prithi's tweet by saying that it brought him to tears and thanked her for being there with him.
Indian Premier League always have a strong connection with Bollywood.
The India off-spinner's his wife, Prithi Narayanan, said her family had been through a "nightmare of a week" after as many as 10 members of the house tested positive for COVID-19.
